Isotopes in Organic Chemistry; Isotopes in the Physical and Biomedical Sciences; INVITED/PLENARY SPEAKER AT MAJOR CONFERENCES Over the past 10 years Buncel has been invited/plenary speaker at 20 major conferences, including the 1st Latin-American Conference on Physical Organic Chemistry, Florionopolis, Brazil (Plenary Lecturer), 1991; the 5th Conference on Correlation Analysis in Chemistry, Paris (Invited Speaker), 1992; 4th International Symposium on Synthesis and Applications of Isotopes and Isotopically Labelled Compounds, Toronto (Invited Speaker), 1991; 77th Chemical Institute of Canada Conference, Winnipeg (Invited Speaker), 1994; 6th Conference on Correlation Analysis in Chemistry, Prague (Plenary Lecturer), 1994; International Conference on Electron Transfer Processes (Krakow, 1997, Declined); 8th International Conference on Correlation Analysis in Chemistry, India (Plenary Lecturer), 1999; 82nd Canadian Society for Chemistry, R.U. Lemieux Award Lecture (1999). Materials Chemistry Canada Colloquium, Victoria (2002). INVITED LECTURES 70 research seminars presented at university and other research institutions in Canada, United States, England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Israel, Brazil, Korea, Nigeria, and India. ORGANIZATION OF SYMPOSIA/CONFERENCES Buncel has organized 18 symposia, beginning in 1969 with the Symposium on Molecular Rearrangements (52nd CIC Conference, Montreal), through to 1994 with Experimental and theoretical approaches to transition states in organic chemistry (77th CIC Conference, Winnipeg), and 1996 with Symposium on isotopes in drug discovery, nuclear medicine, 3
nutrition, agriculture and protection (4th Meeting of Canadian Chapter of International Isotope Society, Toronto), including three Physical Organic Minisymposia at Queen’s. He was Co-Chair of the 4th International Symposium on Synthesis and Applications of Isotopes and Isotopically Labelled Compounds, Toronto, 1991. He served on the International Advisory Board of the 8th International Conference on Correlation Analysis in Chemistry (India, 1999). INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) activities Member of International Organizing Committee and Conference Editor for 5th International Conference on Physical Organic Chemistry, Santa Cruz, 1980. Member of committees on symbolization and naming of organic reaction mechanisms. Contributor to Glossary of Terms used in Physical Organic Chemistry. Member of working party - Commission III.2 - Physical Organic Chemistry. • CHEMRAWN - Canadian representative on CHEMRAWN (Chemical Research Applied to World Needs), (1993- ) with the mission: (1) to identify human needs amenable to solution through chemistry with particular attention to those areas of global or multinational interest; (2) to serve as an international body and forum for the gathering, discussion, advancement and dissemination of chemical knowledge deemed useful for the improvement of humankind and the environment. As part of his CHEMRAWN activities, Buncel has attended meetings and conferences in Lisbon, Washington, Berlin, Paris and Seoul and has associated with like-minded scientists based worldwide. Special effort is directed toward developing countries - Erwin has forged a strong link with Nigerian scientists. He is Co-chair of the CHEMRAWN XII World Conference on Chemistry in the Service of Sustainable Agriculture and a Healthy Environment in Africa and the Developing World to be held in South Africa, 2002. • Nato Collaborative Research Programs - A NATO grant awarded to Dr. J.R. Jones (U.K.) and Buncel enabled development of a joint program on the application of radio tracer techniques to the interaction of biomolecules with heavy metals such as mercury and cadmium. This led to a successful application to NSERC for a Strategic Grant in the area of Environmental Toxicology. Other NATO collaborative grants followed with Professors F. Terrier (France) and D. Spinnelli (Italy). In 1996 a joint NATO grant was approved with Professors J.F. Gal (France) and R.W. Taft (USA) for gas phase studies of the interaction of metal ions with organo phosphorus compounds. The information derived will be fundamental to understanding of the role of metal ions in biological systems, e.g. the phosphoryl moieties of DNA and ATP. 4
